1. What the programme is
Grenada provides direct citizenship through its National Transformation Fund route and approved real-estate investment, subject to government vetting. The economic route determines the required contribution or asset, while due diligence determines whether the applicant and included family members are acceptable.
Grenada's programme figures and route descriptions were checked on 2026-09-23. Confirm the National Transformation Fund amount, approved-project minimum and current fees with the Investment Migration Agency before signing or transferring funds.
2. Current investment routes
The current framework includes a contribution to the National Transformation Fund, investment in an approved project, or another qualifying significant-investment structure under the programme rules. Grenada's NTF contribution and approved-property route solve the funding requirement in different ways. The NTF is straightforward but non-refundable; property preserves an asset while adding a project, holding period and resale question.
3. What the headline minimum really means
The lowest widely published qualifying amount is US$235,000. The NTF minimum is currently US$235,000 for a single applicant or a family of up to four. Larger families and certain dependant categories carry additional charges. Use the NTF or property minimum as the first line of a Grenada budget, then add government, due-diligence, professional, passport and transaction costs for the exact family configuration.
4. Real estate and recoverable capital
The standard approved-project route currently requires at least US$270,000 to the approved project plus a US$50,000 government contribution for a single applicant or family of up to four, before other fees. Approved status in Grenada means the project can qualify for CBI; it is not a promise of investment performance. Review the mandatory hold, ownership rights, developer obligations and likely secondary market independently.
5. Application and due diligence
Applications go through licensed intermediaries and include due diligence and an online interview. The official agency describes typical processing as about three to six months, subject to a satisfactory file. Grenada's due diligence should be approached as a full financial and biographical review. The application needs to show how wealth was created, how the CBI funds reached the applicant's account and whether any third party has an economic role in the transfer.
6. Residence and physical presence
The official programme states that applicants do not need to visit Grenada before, during or after the application process. Grenada does not base CBI on years of local residence, but applicants still need to complete the programme's procedural steps. Check current interview, oath, biometric and passport arrangements instead of equating low presence with zero formalities.
7. Family eligibility
Grenada's family provisions are broad but still rule-based. Check the current treatment of adult children, parents and other relatives separately, because eligibility and government charges are not determined by the everyday meaning of 'dependant'.
8. What to verify before applying
Grenada permits family applications that can include a spouse, dependent children, dependent parents or grandparents and, where the programme definition is met, siblings. Dependency rules still require evidence. Before filing in Grenada, reconfirm the NTF or approved-project terms, authorised agent, dependant classification, current fees and the investment exit conditions relevant to the chosen route.
